Sick of seeing Jungle Nasus done wrong

Diamondprox made jungle Nasus popular, and with that a million folks are heading to the jungle with the big dog trying to perform the way he did.

I've noticed they usually fail miserably - maybe 150 CS (maybe 60-70 stakcs i'd reckon) stacks on SS at VERY best - but all the while the super aggressive early game junglers (Xin J4 Vi Hec) on the other team have been applying heavy pressure to Nasus's lanes and the game can't be won anymore because all of the enemies are fed and Nasus's own team is pooped upon.

I've played Jungle Nasus a good bit, before Diamond and since then. I do believe he is a very very solid pick in the jungle - but it MUST be done right.

II. Jungle Nasus ganks A TON. With the best slow in the game and a heavy AoE armor shred in E... he is a strong ganker esp. with all the ADs in every position these days. He is not a "farm jungle". Im sick of people saying that. "Farm jungle" doesn't exist anymore.

III. You farm Q.... but YOU DONT SACRIFICE CLEAR TIME... ever!

IV. Jungle Nasus can solo drag at 6 with Ult and blue (which you should think about taking).

I thought the skill order was common. Are people really maxing Q first?

They really are. I figured it was common knowledge, but over the last week I've ran into folks going Q and its really been baffling. It's people too set on the Q farm mechanic. It's key to lane Nasus - but what's cool about Nasus is that his lane and jungle playstyle are TOTALLY different (minus builds - builds are similar).---"The lions come storming in...the spectacle...begins..."

I think this is really the most important thing people don't understand. The jungle creeps, by themselves, are not equal to a lane's CS. Not even close. Attempting to limit yourself to farming jungle with a farm-reliant champion will result in a loss.

Though I think it really shows how good a job Riot did. "Ganking junglers are too powerful in Season 2. So let's make farm jungle impossible!"

Disagree. Jungle gold starts outstripping lane gold ten minutes in or so. You can be a farm jungler so long as you're prepared to deal with losers crying that you aren't camping every lane, especially if you're someone like Kha'zix that just instantly clears every camp.

Nasus is not one of those champions but still.---"Pokey and the man."

A lot of Jungle Nasi don't realize that they can get 3-4 lane's worth of Q stacks without having to sacrifice time either if they max E first >.>.

E camp, Q(1) small minion, attack big minion, Q(2, or 1) another small minion if they're still alive. Attack big minion, Q it (3 or 4 from double)---Flowers are really unbalance

Riot has changed everything so if one farms the jungle only, then they get a gold amount equal to a perfectly farmed lane. Add b's and Ganks and a farm jungler is quite valuable. Math don't lie.---Never give up.Never surrender.

It's not the money that's the issue though, its the amount of CS that is at question.---Gamertag: Dayy Hughes ~~~~~ Summoner Name (LoL EUW): Arcanine -----www.youtube.com/DayyHugheshttp://i.imgur.com/jcW29.gif
